Hadi Partovi, the co-founder of, could only speak with me by FaceTime from a locked storage closet with no windows - Disney’s rules for those working on the project. But with “Star Wars,” the secrecy and intensity of the project was ratcheted up a notch. Fifteen thousand teachers have taken advantage of those resources.The organization has worked with Disney in the past for the Hour of Code, last year creating a tutorial animated by the “Frozen” characters.
HOUR OF CODE ORG FROZEN HOW TO
The organization has also paid for summer computer science training and created online tutorials to teach instructors how to teach coding. They’ve had 100 million students participate, and major figures such as President Barack Obama have taken the coding challenge to help raise awareness. , the nonprofit that runs the Hour of Code, teamed up with Disney to make this happen.Ĭode.org has raised roughly $10 million from tech titans like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates to educate children about computer programming and careers in the field, as well as to lobby for political changes to make coding classes mandatory in schools. By dragging and dropping parts of code, the kids will be able to move cartoon versions of Rey (a key new female character from the movie) and BB-8 (the new droid) as well as R2-D2, C-3PO and Princess Leia.
HOUR OF CODE ORG FROZEN MOVIE
At this year’s Hour of Code, the international education tutorial where children spend time learning about computer programming, characters from the upcoming movie “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” will animate one of the online games. Find the perfect activity for your class at. We simply offer a matching service, and Hour of Code planners should do their own background checks in compliance with local policies.Ĭomputer Science Education Week (December 5-11, 2016) is almost here!

There are thousands of volunteers around the world ready to help with your Hour of Code. Invite a local volunteer to inspire your students by talking about the breadth of possibilities in computer science. Inspire your classroom with a local volunteer Thank you to Disney for helping us give children all over the world the opportunity to learn the basics of coding. The “Disney: Wayfinding with Code” tutorial is available in more than 180 countries and 23 languages, including Samoan Polynesian. When the characters are suddenly attacked by the Kakamora – coconut-clad warriors-they must use their coding skills to dodge their pirate projectiles and penetrate their defenses. Along the way, students are introduced to conditionals, sequences and loops while they master the art of navigation. As students follow these travels, they learn basic coding commands that help steer the boat. The story of the “Disney: Wayfinding with Code” tutorial centers around two characters as they sail through unknown territory across the ocean. Help us reach 50 million more with “Disney: Wayfinding with Code”! Participating teachers have helped the Hour of Code reach 50 million girls, a milestone in female participation for computer science.
Both of these beloved tutorials featured strong female characters-teachers used these to provide an introduction to computer science for female students around the world. and Disney have released this new tutorial as teachers prepare to do an Hour of Code with their classrooms between December 5-11 to celebrate Computer Science Education Week-and no experience with code is required to teach it.Ĭode.org has partnered with Disney and Lucasfilm in the past on Hour of Code activities featuring Frozen and Star Wars™ characters. Introducing “Disney: Wayfinding with Code”Ĭode.org and Disney have revealed a new Hour of Code tutorial featuring characters from an upcoming Disney animated film.
